- VARIATION
- Organisms of the same species have differences
- These differences are called variations within a species
- Different genes cause genetic variation
- Genes are passed on in gametes (sex cells) which the offspring develop from
- All plants and animals have characteristics similar to parent genes
- An organism's characteristics are determined by the genes inherited from its parents
- Most characteristics are due to genes AND the environment
- Condition of teeth
- Characteristics are also influenced by the environment
- Environment also causes diffeences between members of the same species
- Environmental variation = eg. losing toes in piranha attack, getting domesticated, having yellow leaves
- Organisms of the same species have differences
